THE GRAND JURY'S PRESENTMENT.
Friday the Grand Jury came into
Conrt and filed a final presentment,
and said a number of things that were
interesting and snid them well.
Starting with the Court House they
recommended that the places where
plaster had fallen be patched and that
the building be cleaned, frescoed and
varnished throughout. Additional jan
i forage was suggested, if necessary; a<id
it was hinted that the janitor might put
a few drops of oil on the seats of the
wicker chairs in the Bar to stop their
creaking. One clause read, "An old
stove-pipe sticking out of a window
would not add to the beauty or adorn
ment of any home, much less a temple
of justice." Th:s made Jndge Gal
breath smile, as the stove-pipe sticks
ont of his window
The County Commissioners were
commended for the beauty spot they
have created on the Diamond
They recommend tha: the jail be ren
ovated and PO me improvements made;
also that something be done to prevent
the practice of introducing articles into
the jail from the outside by means of
strings lowered from the windows.
As to the County Home the Jury
thought it was not a good proposition
to warn an institution three months
beforehand that they were going to in
vestigate it. They stated they found
the Home in very good condition and
the inmates satisfied, and complimented
Supt. Graham. Some rocking chairs
for the old and sick folks was their only
suggestion.
The B. &O. and P. B. 6c L. E rail
roads were spoken of as criminally neg
ligent and careless in not providing
safety gates at the Centre Ave. and
Kears crossings, which is the undoubt
ed truth.
The P. B. & L. E. was also reported
as blockading the' public crossing at
Branchton for as much as a liilf hour
at a time.
Lyndora received the hardest slap
from the jury. A number of the crimi
nal cases before the jury were the re
sults of drinking bouts among the for
eigners in Lyndora and the jury accord
ingly recommended that the licenses in
and near that place be shut off, and also
all sources of supply to the foreigners.
GRAND JUitY.
The grand jury ruade favorable
reports for county bridges over Bull
creek in Clinton twp., at the C. R. An

caster twp. at the Philip Flinner place;

father, John C. Kelly of Prospect, giv
ing her SISOO in cash for a mortgage
which he had executed to her on his
farm, and giving her a new mortgage
of SISOO payable one year after his
death. In 1888 Kelly and his wife, each
having alsjiit $8000» bought a fine farm
one mile south of Prospect. Kelly gave
his wife three notes for her share of the
purchase money, Kelly had several
children by his fft-st wife, who had died,
among them Rf,v. Jonathan Kelly of
New Castle, and one daughter now Mrs.
Cratty, by bis second. The second wife
died in Nov., lttO'i, and F. P. Critchlow
was appointed guardian of her daugh
ter, while her estate was administered
upon by Mr. Kelly. He and his first
wife's children claimed tbe agreement
between him and his second wife was
that she should have half the proceeds
of the farm instead of Interest on her
notes, and that this agreement WHS
kept. The notes however called for In
terest. According to law after Mrs.
Kelly's death, half the note* belonged
to Mr. Kelly and half to Blanche. He
lifted the notes and executed her a
mortgage for SISOO for her share, and
Blanche then 10 years of age, signed an
agreement not to collect the interest off
h«-r father for the period from IHHIi to
iOuU, about SOOOO. Under this agree
ment Mr. Critchlow mode no effort to

TIIP Iveasy Case.
Jacob Yorkovitch aud Nick Matlock.
Austrian*, were held by the grand jury
last week on charges of manslaughter
and felonious a&b. in connection with
'■ the death of George Keasey. Jr., at
West Winfield. Sept IT. 1904. Their
case was the first taken up Monday and
the deft-, elected to be tried separately,
and Yorkovitch was pnt on trial first,
j District Attorney Walker chose to pro
! ceed on the charge of manslaughter.
The defense asked that the Common
i wealth witness be kept from the court
room, except the one being heard. This
was granted and a similar ruling was
made on the defendant's witnesses. The
two Doctor Scotts of Carbon Black told
of Keusey's injuries and the cause of
death. The story of the tradegv. as
brought out by the examination of
.Jarjes McAnallen and Martin Sasse,
t*-o of the Americans who were with
Keasey at the Austrian boarding house.
Mr. Austin, who lives nearby, and Geo.
Keasey, Sr., the murdered youth's
father, George Milliron. Snpt. of the
McKees works at West Winfield, and
ex-County Detective Barnes, to all
whom Jake Yorkovitch had given
while in the jail a story of the details,
was that young Keasey, McAnallen. Dr.
Duffy, who is now said to be in Okla
homa. Sasse, and Sinitb. an insurance
agent, were drinking beer with the
Anstrians, a fight started because
Keasey grabbed a bottle of beer out of
Tony Yorkovitch's hand and wanted to
take it home with him. Keasey was
ejected from the house and threw stones
at it The Austriatis went out aiter
him and Keasey came back to meet
them. They came together under the
railroad trestle near the house and five
Anstrians beat Keasev to tne earth.
His skull was fractured and a few days
later he died. The Yorkovitches dis
appeared. Tony has never been cap
tured. Jake was arrested at McKees
Rocks. When on the stand he denied
that he had confessed to Geo. Milliron,
Geo. Keasey, Sr., and Detective Barnes
that he had struck Keasey twice with a
club at the beginning of the And
that Tony who returned last to the
boarding house after tli - said "I
fixed him so he'll never set up again. I
beat him with the shovel."
Tuesday afternoon the jury, after
being out a short time, retimed a ver
dict of -guilty of manslaughter.
Nieh Munlock, a companion of Yorko
vitch, was then put on trial on a
similar charge.
